I bisected this down to one of four commits. Well, assuming that the problem was caused by changes in drivers/md; a fair assumption, I think. The commits are: $ git bisect view --oneline f9209a3 bitmap_create returns bitmap pointer 96ae923 Gather on-going resync information of other nodes 54519c5 Lock bitmap while joining the cluster b97e9257 Use separate bitmaps for each nodes in the cluster The crash happens whether or not CONFIG_MD_CLUSTER is enabled.
